Your Wedding Package Bends to Your Guest List, Your Style, and Your Budget — Not the Other Way Around.

Florals are handled in-house by Enchanted Design & Floral, a sister company to Saxon Manor rather than an outside vendor whose number we simply hand you. That matters for customization because there's no markup layer sitting between your floral budget and your venue budget — they're effectively the same conversation. You bring the palette, the season, and the level of formality you want, and the team builds arrangements around it, from ceremony arches to reception centerpieces to bouquets. Because this florist works weddings on this property every week, they already know what holds up in Florida heat and what actually looks right against the Barn's wood tones versus the Garden Room's lighter palette. For seasonal ideas and budget-friendly approaches, see our floral design trends guide.

Food works the same way. Our in-house chefs build your menu with you rather than handing you three fixed banquet packages to choose between, and a tasting is part of every package before you finalize anything. That's real customization — you're not picking between Chicken A and Chicken B off a laminated card, you're shaping a menu around your guests, your season, and the budget inside the room you've already booked. The tiered wedding cake is included with its own tasting as well, so the same conversation covers both dinner and dessert in one sitting. If you want a closer look at the kind of menus couples are building right now, our current dining menus page goes further into detail than makes sense here.

Photography, DJ services, and your officiant are also built into the package, and all three still bend around your preferences rather than arriving as a fixed script. You're not locked into a photography style you don't like or a generic ceremony reading — you tell your officiant what you want said, you build a must-play and do-not-play list for your reception, and you talk through shot lists and timing with your photographer well ahead of the day itself. The people are fixed and already booked; what they actually do for you on the day isn't. For the complete list of what's bundled into every package before you start customizing it, see our full inclusions page.

Coordination ties all of this together, and it's the part couples most often underestimate when they think about customization. Someone has to make sure the florist's setup timeline lines up with the caterer's, and that both line up with your ceremony start time down to the minute. That's design and coordination staff, included in every package, running the specific version of your wedding you actually chose rather than a generic default. The result is that the choices you made months earlier — the palette, the menu, the music — show up correctly on the day, instead of getting lost somewhere in a handoff between vendors who've never worked together before.

Guest count customization isn't only about which room you book — it's also about what happens around the wedding day itself. BoHo, built for up to 55 guests, hosts rehearsal dinners, bridal showers, and wedding-day brunches as separate bookable events, priced between $2,000 and $3,000 depending on what you need. That gives couples getting married in Manor Barn or the Garden Room a way to host the smaller gatherings around their wedding without renting an outside restaurant space or booking a second venue across town for the weekend. It's the same all-inclusive structure applied to a smaller event: one price, no separate vendors to assemble yourself.

The Bridal Cottage is another piece of customization that's easy to overlook when you're focused on the ceremony and reception. Its three rooms give you and your wedding party a place to get ready on-site rather than arriving already dressed and photographed elsewhere, which changes what your morning-of timeline and photos actually look like. Couples who want a slower, more private start to the day use it that way; couples who'd rather arrive ready and put the whole day toward the ceremony and reception can use the space differently. Either way, it's already part of the property, not a separate rental you have to arrange.

Choosing between Manor Barn and the Garden Room is its own kind of customization, since both hold up to 150 guests within the same $15,000 to $21,000 range. The decision usually comes down to atmosphere rather than budget — one reads as a barn, one reads as a garden room, and your florals, lighting, and decor choices are going to read differently against each backdrop. We walk through that comparison in more depth on this page, but the short version is this: tour both before you decide, because photographs consistently undersell how different the two spaces feel once you're standing inside them.

None of this customization requires you to negotiate a one-off contract from scratch or assemble your own team of outside vendors. Every option above — the room, the guest count, the add-on events, the getting-ready space — fits inside the same all-inclusive structure the venue already runs on. You're selecting from real, specific options with real prices attached to each one, not submitting a wish list and waiting to see what number comes back after the fact. That's the difference between customizing a package and negotiating one from zero.
